[quote=Anonymous]I could have written this post. DH and I have 6 degrees between us - his parents work service jobs and struggle in many ways. As another PP said, it leads to a TON of insecurity on their part. MIL is chronically feeling inadequate around pretty much everyone in her life. I do agree with other PPs though - don't project, and don't borrow responsibility for their insecurity or comments. When you spend time with them just try to talk about neutral topics and let it go. I know that for me, I've just accepted that we have nothing in common and don't let it bother me. That said, I also refuse not to be myself, and I don't think you should pretend to be someone else either. I'm not going to spend entire visits watching football and talking about how terrible minorities are - I bring a book and take every opportunity to discuss neutral topics, including the kids.[/quote]
